being a congressman, how much will it affect pacquiao's boxing career?

[josef4334]

whats happening with my country?! i like pac as a boxer not as a politician!

whats happening to our country? nothing man.. its still the same crap. i mean people expect the politicians not to be corrupt but when they hand out money people will vote for them. it will be 3rd world till the end of time. pacman probably is a breath of fresh air since he came from the poorest so his heart wont be questioned. i dont know how he will do drafting laws and passing them though.

whats even more scary is that erap came in 2nd! when will people learn!!


majesty,

i once worried about him not focusing on training 100%. yes once he loses it will be one of the excuse.

I think that Manny is starting to believe in his own legend; starting to believe in his fictional, super-hero powers. The man is starting to slide down that slippery delusional slope. If, and that's one hell of an IF, he actually puts his cards down and steps up to fight F.M., he can't have his head in so many different realms.
If he doesn't land early, stun, and finish Mayweather, Mayweather will figure him out and coast to another U.D. Even with all of the money on the table, the prospect of this fight taking place doesn't look too promising.

That sounds about right. Refuse to take the tests, blame Floyd for the negotiations collapsing then fight Hands of Plaster in the Cowboys stadium to go out with a win. No way he fights Floyd if he isn't allowed to take his PEDs.

He can't possible be more in love with himself than Mayweather is.

I'm more interested in how much his being a congressman will affect boxing. Are we going to see much more main stream media will follow Pacquiao now? Many of them have mentioned his Congressional race win. I've see it on the TV news, heard it on the radio news and there are a number of main stream news prints that have also carried the story. And I'm talking about non-sports news media. I heard a few month back he is going to a featured story on 60 minutes in September or October. He has brought the worlds attention to boxing but the question remains for how long. If he fights and beats Mayweather, there no telling what will happen to boxing. With this kind of attention McCain might be able to push through US Boxing Commission Bill. We might see some profound changes in boxing. It really is an exciting time for boxing

Arum stated that Philippines and US congressmen/representatives has a thing in common - they do nothing most of the time.

It'll be easier for him to get his hands on the best military steroids.

He'll make a last huzza with Mayweather, make tons of millions, be a congressman till he lost the next elections, if he does so and is under 36 when it happens, he'll make a come back and try to rip another couple of millions.
